Squirrels – light brown, dark streaks, furry
Mini tree climbers, fast
Runners, prancing around the yard, looking
For food, walnuts, storing for winter, hibernation
We see them in summer, spring, and fall
Blend into leaves before winter. Under
Bushes, different state, flee north
Like the birds in the sky. Hibernation
Wonder where and why
Can’t they survive here? In
Kentucky, here climate
Changing, cold, warm, stormy,
Rain pounding, ice, snow, you
Never know what’s next. Colorful
Leaves, beautiful, picture perfect. Fifty
States to choose from, I’d choose here;
Kentucky, always changing, unpredictable.
Happiness here, family, friends
Memories, despair. . Energetic
Friendly.
